Colonies James to Morehead, of Guilford,
has given out that he IS a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Congress
III the Fifth District next Year.
The New York Tribune denounces
President Cleveland for turning out all
the Republican officeholders. The Sun
denounces him for keeping them in. The
World denounces him for both.
senator Cameron, the Republican stage
horse. was asked what he thought Of Cleye-
land, be replied: 1T is all right, and Cleve-
land IS a safe man. His veto of the Pen

does not desire to be either President or
Eice-P President. but that he could not be
induced to accept the Vice Presidency,

We desire to add one more name to
the already large list Of names mentioned
for Governor. 1t is that of Hon. Jno. ".
Graham of Orange. We know of no more
capable. honest or better fitted man for
the Governorship of the grand old State
Of North Carolina than this worthy son Of
a former Governor and Senator, and
withal one Of the brightest, purest men III
our States history Winston Sentinel
Now that the political bee begins TO
. buzz. it sometimes happens that the name
Of Mr. J. ;. Carr, of Durham, Is mention
ed in connection with high offices. and the
Sentinel wishes TO say just here, if Mr..
Carr viii accept office, the people of North
Carolina could find no more honest, no
purer, manlier man to bestOw 1t on. To
no man, either in or out Of the State, do
the people owe more of love and thanks
than to Julian 5. Carr. man for whom
no position is too high, for whom no posi-
ton is too good -- Winston Sentinel.
Yes, Colonel Armieid, Colonel Clark,
Colonel Stedman. Colonel Holt, General
Cox, sid Alexander. Julian 5. Carr and
General Gilmer would all make good Gov
ernors. and the State would be safe with
either Of these gentlemen as Governor, and
we should give either one a most cordial
and hearty support If nominated, but We
still think Colonel VIM. Saunders would
make a stronger run than either OF these
gentlemen, and no man in the State has
done more than, If dozen combined nave
done so much as, the noble Saunders to
rid North Carolina of Republican mlsrule.
Besides. there is nothing against Saunders.
He stands without a peer as to record ID
all the state Scotland Neck Democrat.
We note with very great pleasure that
some of our brethren OF the press are urg-
| ing the name of our distinguished towns
man. Col +. B. Creecy, editor OF the Ellz-
| abeth City Economist, for North Caroli-
mas chief executive. We are not disposed
to say that Colonel Creecy is the only avail
able man for the position, or that he would
! make the strongest canvass, and other
| similar extravagant expressions so common
among advocates of candidates for office,
but we do say, without fear of contradlc-
! ton by those who know him, that Colonel
! Creecy IS as competent man, and would
! be as acceptable TO the people, II nomlna-
1 ted. as any man we could mention. He Is
one of the best Informed men on politics
In the State He has been Democrat from
his infancy, he is scholars a strong speaker
| and possessed of an unusual amount oil
personal magnetism. He would make
practical Governor like Jarvis, a man who
would be boom for the state every time
| he left its borders, a man in whom every
one. from the humbiest to the highest
would feel that he had sympathlzer and
a friend, and man whom North Caroll
mans in after years would be proud tt
! Doint to as having been their Governor
